TCTI: Too Crazy Too Ignore

Watch your Okole, America

As if this Secret Service scandal wasn't weird enough already.

"Now this is getting weirder by the minute," said Greta Van Susteren.

Greta Van Susteren talks to Sarah Palin about HER link to the secret Service scandal. Because one of the agents fired for the sex romp in Cartagena had been assigned to Sarah Palin in 2008 and posted on his Facebook page a picture of himself in sunglasses watching Sarah Palin, and says he was "checking her out."

Which brought this reaction from Mrs. Palin:

"Check this out bodygaurd, you're fired," said Palin. "I hope his wife kicks his Okole and sends him to the dog house, as long as he's not eating the dog along with his former boss."

OK -- Okole is Hawaiian for buttocks -- but what's the dog reference?

Well, it's from Barack Obama's book where he describes what he ate as a kid in Indonesia:

"I was introduced to dog meat, tough, snake meat, tougher, and roasted grasshopper, crunchy," said Obama.

But Palin's ultimate point is that Barack Obama must take responsibility for the Secret Service scandal.

"It's a known out there that our president has poor management skills," said Palin.

Although as Greta pointed out to her:

"The Secret Service event that happened with regard to you was during the race when he wasn't even president, so obviously there were problems in the secret service as far back as then."

And out of all this, you know the image I can't get out of my mind?

"Roasted grasshopper, crunchy."

How far away is that election?

    Was the Secret Service was partying with Columbian hookers before Obama was POTUS? Do we have evidence?

    There's no evidence of that, but we do have evidence that at least one agent was more interested in watching Sarah Palin's backside than he was in watching her back. :-)

    Sure was pretty stupid of Obama to sit there in the hotel room and tell his security staff it would be OK with him if they all slipped down to the nearest brothel and brought back a bevy of $30 quail... oh, wait; uh- he wasn't even in the country. Doesn't matter, if a rainstorm wrecks a picnic anywhere in America somebody will start to scream that it's all Obama's fault. That's the nature of politics. The opposition (either side) will take advantage of as much stuff as they can find. If they can't find enough damning information they will distort something to invent it- or just make up wholesale lies.

    The $30 quail wanted $300. But all that aside, does this mean that George W. Bush can no longer be blamed for everything ? I'll give the President a pass on this, BUT I'm still ticked about that rainy BBQ.

    The rightwing pundits are always crying that everything is blamed on Bush (though he started the war and gave the first bail out along with raise the debt as well) now they say it's Obama's fault for everything. My life has changed little if any through the last 4 presidents,and will not change much whoever is next. Only the idiots think the sky will fall when the "liberals" make it to office. Nuts, just plain nuts.

    Yeah, I think I noticed that. If you're interested in collecting the opinions of the "straight ticket D voters", I can't really help you there. I often vote for Republicans, whenever they have the better candidate. I suspect I will likely vote McKenna for Guv this fall, for example. You also mentioned, in the post, that you were asking for the opinions of "liberals". Can't help you there, either. I tend to be liberal on social justice issues and very conservative on fiscal issues.

    Bring up the question of whether certain classes or groups in the US should enjoy greater or fewer rights and privileges based on ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc and you might characterize my opinions more often than not as liberal. Bring up government spending and taxation, and I am always in favor of smaller government, more efficiently delivering essential services with as few tax dollars as possible.

    So, if it's your goal to sample the opinions of liberals and "straight ticket D voters", I can't be of any use to you at all. Your guess would be as good as mine about what those opinions might be....and, quite likely, just like the right wing there would actually be some differences of opinion on the left. No, they don't "all think alike". :-)

    so - bad agents for a long time.
    April 20, 2012 8:27 am
    These guys and gals are human, so you get a bad apple from time to time - and too often a good apple can have a bad moment, or date. ... The agent (Pinkerton Agency, then) assigned to protect Lincoln got drunk and missed everything at Ford's Theater, so at least to 1865. .......... But, never stopped the press from blaming whoever was president (well, they couldn't blame Lincoln) for whatever happens on his watch. ...................As far as Obama's childhood goes, Hey - it was a dog eat dog world.

    I missed the part where Palin "jumps on the Secret Service scandal." I see the part where she was asked about it, and gave an answer. Surely Dave Ross isn't using Palin's name as link bait.

    Obama a lot less presidential than Nixon.....
    April 20, 2012 10:06 am
    when federal employees, under the direct or even indirect supervision of the president, do something illegal or distasteful the best course, at least according to Nixon, is to lie, deny, and try to destroy evidence.

    Those who constantly repeat that "Obama is the worst president in the history of the US" must, by even the most basic logic, consider Nixon to be more presidential.

    Obama freely admitted that the Secret Service screwed up, and several people have been demoted, fired, or forced to retire as a result. Obviously Obama should not have been so forthcoming and should have taken some lessons from Nixon; in the eyes of many it would have made him a better president. :-)

    I remember the day when Dave Ross was concerned when he sounded "partial" on the air. Now he's just a left wing hack that has the mental disease of liberalism with no common sense or sense of fairness of any kind.

    This woman is, and has always been a train wreck. The people of Alaska can't stand her. She is nothing more than a decent looking narcissist that has contributed to the down fall of the Republican party. Had she been properly vetted, McCain would have walked away from her. I don't agree with hardly anything McCain says, but she lost the election for him.

    obama handled this with dignity and respect. his response was rapid and professional. the agents have been dealt with swiftly. palin doesn't deserve the ink time to say stupid stuff like--"It's a known out there that our president has poor management skills," said Palin.
